　The Art of Giving Up

Do you believe in the saying "Winners never quit and quitters never succeed"? The ability to give up is just as important as "persistence" and "optimism," giving up is not the end, but a necessary step in resetting our goals and needs.

Based on scientific theory and the research of psychologists and scientists on human behavior and motivation and the exploration of the human brain, this book provides valuable goal-planning methods on how to learn the ability to quit. When you get stuck, this book will help you get out of it and keep you moving forward in life. The only way to set new goals and open up new possibilities is to completely abandon old goals.
